Road bike comes out of hibernation.
It's been just a tad under 3 months since my last time on the road bike. I've had a blast playing on the trails this winter, but right now they are a mess. So after voting today it was time to dust off the road bike and roll out a nice 20 mile ride. It was great to be back in the saddle and playing on the pavement again.

Same thing in Minnesota. Feels good to ride something other than the stationery!
Early spring in Minnesota

still have nightmares thinking about riding the CCRT with you on road bikes. was so toasted after our MTB ride, that I fear an all out road bike ride on a protected paved trail would be my undoing & you'd either leave me in the distant past or have to tie a rope around my stem to keep me in the neighborhood.

I was on slowtwitch for many many years while I was racing and my handle there was zipp. I had 4 zipp 2001 bikes. I've since sold them all as the maintenance was a ton on those bikes. I had a yellow one, a painted black one and 2 nude carbon ones that were very rare. I had a long distance relationship with the zipp employee that made those frames. I bought lots of parts from him!
